Just to say we raised £450.32 on the night, so thank you to the Fishermans Friends of Port Isaac who sang in aid of the hatchery and our baby lobsters. It was a brilliant night, great singing, the sun shone and the sunset finished off a perfect evening.

LATEST RELEASES
It’s been a long wait and I can only apologise for those that have been waiting for a long time for their adopted lobster to be released, but the hatchery is swarming with baby lobsters now. In fact, this morning we had to do an emergency release to allow space for the younger lobsters coming through. With the cold winter, we were not getting in berried hens (female lobsters with eggs) until March and they have not hatched as early as the last few years either (again due to the cold temperatures).
877 were released at the beginning of June at Harlyn by the Harlyn and Bristol Dive Club
40 were released at Trevose Head, 40 at Mylor, and this morning, 150 at Mother Ivy’s Bay and 150 at Trevone.
Next stop, Isles of Scilly where we hope to release 1,000 – looking forward to that!

Fishermans Friends sing in aid of the Lobster Hatchery. Come and join us on the Platt at Port Isaac – not to be missed FRIDAY 11th JUNE 2010
You will have heard of Fishermans Friends by now, with their recent success of attracting a £1 million record deal with Universal. Or may be you have been lucky enough to hear them sing on the Platt on a summer evening at Port Isaac, with the fishing boats and beach as a back drop.
It really is a magical experience, pint in hand and singing along to the sea shanties. They start at 8pm no matter what the weather. See you there.
